They help in problem areas but aren't a complete fix. The real solution is reducing the heat that escapes into your attic — insulation and ventilation work.
Most Gates Mills ice dam problems are largely or fully solved by upgrading attic insulation to R-49+ and ensuring proper ventilation. Often more cost-effective than continuous heat cable use.
Yes — water backing up under shingles damages decking, soaks insulation, ruins drywall, and shortens the life of the entire roof system.
